Finally, with the release of his new book Science Set Freeit’s time to let you listen.

The book was released in the UK as “The Science Delusion” as a counterpoint to “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins. Incidentally, I am trying to organize a discussion between the two men (The God Delusion vs. The Science Delusion). Dr. Sheldrake has accepted. If you would like to see this discussion take place, please express your support in the comments below.

“Mark, you are the CEO of Simpleology. You do too many things. It harms your brand. Create a personal identity to go along with your company identity and cultivate this image publicly.”

Sure, it would be “better for business,” perhaps. It would also be a lie. I’m not just a “dot com CEO.” I am many other things.

The moment you buy into the notion of a “personal brand” you find yourself needing to ask your audience permission to change.

But you’re going to change anyway, whether they give you permission or not.

Would you believe that the Society of Professional Journalists has a “Code of Ethics?” Now, I can understand your incredulity. ”Next you’ll tell us the there is a Society of Professional Meth Lab Technicians.” Yeah. Anyway, here’s the idea: line by line, show the Code of Ethics. Splice in clear examples of lapses. Include examples from various news sources so as not to be a shill-piece for a specific organization. Challenge yourself to find examples even from the news organizations you like. Then edit the montage for comedic (ironic, dramatic, whatever) effect.

Done right, this video could be quite viral. Call me Billy Mumphrey, but it could help hasten a new era of journalism. Imagine a more discerning news audience. One that could easily spot nonsense or lapses in ethics. One that questions even the things that confirm its own bias. Would the den of bullshittery-for-hire that is journalism today have any ads to sell?
